0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

BiblioStats is a specialized statistics library and archive dedicated to Farktography contests hosted on Fark.com. It serves a niche community of contest participants and enthusiasts by providing detailed contest statistics, contestant reports, and image galleries. The website is small-scale and community-focused, with a business model centered on information archiving and user engagement through contest data. The site has been operational since 2010, reflecting a stable presence in its niche. Technically, the site is built on ASP.NET Web Forms with Microsoft AJAX, featuring basic design and navigation. It uses PayPal for donations but lacks modern SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate with no DNSSEC, no visible security headers, and no explicit HTTPS confirmation in the provided data. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, and no contact or incident response information is published, which limits compliance and trust. Overall, the site is functional and safe but would benefit from enhanced security, privacy compliance, and professional contact information to improve trust and user confidence.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The website occupies a niche position as a statistics and archival resource for Farktography contests, leveraging community engagement around Fark.com. Its competitive advantage lies in detailed normalized voting and placing metrics, which are unique to this contest community. Revenue streams appear limited to voluntary donations via PayPal. The target audience is contest participants and fans, primarily within the Fark community. The site has a modest technical infrastructure and limited marketing or advertising presence. Partnerships with Fark.com and PayPal are evident, supporting contest data sourcing and payment processing respectively. Growth potential depends on expanding features and community engagement, as indicated by 'Coming Soon' sections. Strategic observations suggest the need for improved privacy, security, and professionalization to support sustainable growth and trust.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic to moderate. The domain registration is stable and consistent, but DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a minor security gap. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are detected in the HTML content. HTTPS usage is not explicitly confirmed, which is a critical gap if absent. Forms use ASP.NET viewstate and event validation, which provide some protection against tampering. No incident response or security contact information is published, limiting readiness for security events. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators are visible in the content. Overall, the security posture requires improvements in transport security, header implementation, and compliance documentation to reduce risk and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to protect domain name resolution integrity.
  3. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  4. Publish security incident response contact information and establish a vulnerability disclosure policy.
  5. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the site against common attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on an older ASP.NET Web Forms framework with Microsoft AJAX, indicating a legacy technology stack. The site uses client-side JavaScript for gallery functionality and form postbacks with viewstate and event validation. Hosting is via Squarespace Domains registrar with DNS hosted on Google Domains name servers. The site includes a PayPal donation form for voluntary contributions. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data such as JSON-LD or Open Graph tags detected. The site navigation is functional but some sections are incomplete or disabled. Modernization opportunities include upgrading to a more current web framework, improving mobile responsiveness, and enhancing SEO and accessibility compliance. Technical risks include potential security gaps from missing HTTPS confirmation and lack of security headers.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
